[edit] HIV

Is it worth noting that he was HIV positive? I'm looking around for a reliable source. --138.16.60.106 03:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Medical Center

I remember an episode of "Medical Center" where Robert Reed played a married father who wanted a sex change. At the end of the show, they showed him made up to look like a woman. Does anybody remember that show? RickK 03:07, 23 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I don't remember it, but you should add info about it if you want. According to IMDB http://imdb.com/name/nm0001658/ , it was a two-part Medical Center episode that aired in September 1975 (see #40 and #41 in Guest Appearances near bottom of the IMDB page). - Moncrief

[edit] Homosexuality

What's the reference for him being gay? Alison9 06:40, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Pretty much every Brady Bunch book, television retrospective and reference out there? I know Florence Henderson knew after the first screen test, and he eventually confided in her (at least that is her story). Mike H 00:41, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

I think it's important to keep the reference to his threatening rent boys. Otherwise, the entry is misleading in that it depicts him as some sort of nice guy when he was in fact threatening his rent boys. It's bad enough for these young men to have to engage in this stuff to make money, but to have your customer threaten you on top of that is disgusting.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.43.5.73 (talk) 11:02, 7 January 2007

Does anybody know if Reed was a top or a bottom? I think that would be helpful in understanding this complex man.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.43.65.45 (talk) 03:22, 8 January 2007

The whole section dealing with his supposed preferences and threats is based on a National Enquirer story? What a joke! The anti-gay bias here is clear.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.240.41.96 (talk) 17:42, 13 February 2007

[edit] Homosexuality (part 2)

I'm removing the section on his being gay - not because it's false, but because it's so poorly written and sourced. The two sources listed are from a letter by some random person to findadeath.com and a National Enquirer article, neither of which are reliable sources. I'll find better sources and write a better paragraph. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 20:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
